Overheard while Sadie was playing with this toy book:
One day there was a castle, and there was some princes, then a princess came along, then the castle was breaked down. The dragon did that! And then the princess ran inside, but she couldn't! So she couldn't get in! Then she squished it through, and she got to the top! Then she jumped away. Then she got around where Snow White was, and she looked at Snow White. Then they went down the stairs and they were in the ballroom! They jumped up where the princes were, then they got the princes away. They dropped themselves. Then another prince came and his name was Aladdin. He lived on the castle. He went up inside, but someone just CAUGHT him inside -- Snow White caught him inside!!! And he ran by himself, and got where they were. Then something happened. The stairs broke down. Then they were trapped! He fell over. Then another guy came, and he jumped up, and he jumped around the world! (laughter) DOO DOO DOO DOO DOO!!! And he jumped on the stairs -- he thought the stairs were a trampoline but THAT WAS A TRAP. And only the princes know the way out. And more princes got out. But the princesses were trapped! Then they were freezing! They wanted to get out but they were about to die. Ariel said, "We're about to die!" Snow White said, "We're not going to die! Or we are. Or we're not going to." Ariel said, "We are going to die!" Ariel stared at the stairs. THEN, the princess locked the stairs up!
THEN A SHARK CAME OVER! Then Belle got the trap, and she ran upstairs where they were. She wanted no shark to come over! The shark was bouncing! Over them! Bouncing on its tail and its head! Then they hided, and hided, but she came up there, and she was scared! He's doing a flip-fly! Then, he came down, then his tail got longer, and longer, and longer! Then it got short.
Etc.
Mom's Note: This is a very neat toy. Very portable. Sadie is very into paper dolls and also pop-up books, so this was like a magical combo. We found it on the bargain table at the bookstore for $6.99 though. You have to find your own shark though -- not included.
